    If you now accept your figures were the wrong way round, would you please edit them before Piers Corbyn, bonkers scientists, etc. find them and use them.

              Its a joke, just a joke, nothing more nothing less, the country has lost its ability to laugh.
              We all have our limits, and they vary.

                I don't dispute anyone's right to post such a joke for one moment. I advocate free speech, and also free response. We do hear a lot of threats of violence against MP's these days which is why I think its a dodgy choice of joke. I was just registering my response to it in the same spirit of free speech.

                        A secondary school in Co Kerry which decided to close due to an “alarming increase” in Covid-19 cases has been ordered to reopen by the Department of Education.

                        This is either:

                        - running scared of the virus - we are all going to have to change the way we live - covid19 will be with us for a number of years to come;
                        - using the virus as an excuse to close down the school - for a jolly - disregarding the long term importance of education.

                        The DoE looks to favour the second view.

                        You know, it peeves me when Kier or Ian moan about the end of furlough. Well, we all paid people to stay at home, in an attempt to stop the virus speading and to protect their jobs. Some of these people decided to bunch up together on Bournemouth Beach and the virus has not been stopped. If they lose their jobs they only have themselves to blame.

                        The virus doesn't spread - we spread it - it's easy to stay 2m apart, wear masks and wash your hands - but for some reason we can't do it.

                            In my darkest times I have found a lot of relief in dark/warped/sick humour. It's just a coping mechanism which helps to reduce my anxiety and never intended to offend or upset anyone. But we're all facing a challenging time ATM so people can also be highly-strung and more sensitive to that humour than they usually would be. We just can't win, can we? :biggrin:

                              I didn't mean to hurt or to offend anyone.
                              This black joke became popular because people do not believe politicians. A lot of people are afraid if a vaccine will be created it will not be safe because it is too soon without enough research but the worst thing is that a lot of people think that such a vaccine will be made mandatory for some groups of people just for the sake of profits.
                              I trust only well researched and well developed vaccines which proved to be safe without side effects. It concerns medication as well.
